The Marrakech International Film Festival Lights up Winter 2023

Can you hear the murmur of the spotlights and the thrill of movie-going excitement? Marrakech is preparing to experience artistic excitement with the highly anticipated return of the Marrakech International Film Festival in 2023. It is an unmissable event for cinema lovers, cinema enthusiasts, the curious and all others!

The 20th edition of the FIFM (Marrakech International Film Festival) will take place from November 24 to December 2, 2023, making Marrakech the capital of international cinema in November 2023.

The Marrakech International Film Festival has a captivating spectacle in store with the revelation of the composition of its jury. Made up of 9 members from the four corners of the globe (Australia, Morocco, Great Britain, Sweden, Iran, France), chaired by the multi-awarded American actress, Jessica Chastain, this jury will have the delicate mission of deciding between the 14 films in competition for this 2023 edition of the FIFM.

Alongside Jessica Chastain, personalities from the cinematographic world such as Zar Amir (actress, producer and director), Camille Cottin (actress), Joel Edgerton (actor and director), Joanna Hogg (director, producer and screenwriter), Alexander Skarsgard ( actor), Leïla Slimani (author), Dee Rees (director) and Tarik Saleh (producer, director and screenwriter) will bring their expertise and passion to this celebration of cinema.

Recall that the Marrakech International Film Festival has in the past welcomed renowned jury presidents, such as the famous director Francis Ford Coppola in 2015 and the French actress Marion Cotillard as a jury member. The films in competition will be revealed later as soon as the official selection of the 2023 Marrakech International Film Festival is revealed.

Let’s hope that the magic of the big screen on Jemaa el Fna square will be maintained. Fans will be able to register for free on the official website of the Marrakech International Film Festival to attend the screenings in theaters. May the enchanting cinema of Marrakech brighten your days from November 24 to December 2, 2023!
